Dear Lew: You do not have to go back very far in these posts to see where I have been also devastated by my daughter leaving a wonderful Christian husband and father to my two grand children. In these days good Christians are falling away. People reject the message of the good news of Christ like it is trash. But,you know. The Lord speaks to me in His word and in my heart. He tells me that His word will nor return void. He tells me that He saves whole families. He tells me that sin is but for a short season. He tells me that I have the power to rebuke the tempter. He tells me that we have a doormat at the gate to this thread. It reads. I walk all over my enemies. You know . The enemy gains an advantage on us at times but we on this thread come back strong. When the Lord puts someone on my heart to pray for them I pray for them at church, on the highway. I pray in tongues for them. I stand in for them at prayer lines. I put them on a prayer list that is hosted by literally a hundred anointed believers. I wake up in the middle of the night praying for them. I cannot sleep for them, I cannot rest until I lift them up to the Lord . I celebrate their renewal. I praise God for their deliverance. I break chains and unleash angels. Why?? You ask !! To be honest I'm not sure. I just like , and enjoy and relish the thought of making the devil a little nervous when he is feeling froggy. I mean He has got to be the biggest screw-up in History, look at where his position used to be. When he manages to tell me about my screw ups I remind him of his screw ups. I mean he is so stupid. But , just as in the situation with my daughter you know, the Lord has told me "It's not over until I say it's over" , not one second sooner !! I used to frequent bars when I was younger-- like 15 years ago-- big bar man was I when the disco scene was in. Thought I was John Travolta or someone. Some advice I can give you is that you should not get on your son's case about going. It just pushes them further in the direction of going. We all, as parents, reach the point, where the kids are old enough to make their own decisions. As hard as it is at times( you sound just like me) all you can do is pray , pray, pray and lovingly tell them that there is nothing but fake imitations in bars. The whole key is to do it in love and not judgementally. You can even point out a true story I heard, make that 2 I heard just in the past week. One. Beautiful girl rebuffs a suitor. He smashes her face with his fist and breaks her jaw in 7 places..Who..my daughters best friend. She comes upon the scene as Patti is being carried away in an ambulance. Next situation. Friend of an employee is struck with a pool cue , in a comma for three weeks. So we know nothing good will ever come out of a bar. Yes I put angels over your son to protect him from harm. I hand him over to the Lord , for He is the good shepperd. He will lead , in a loving way, your son away from his new pastime. But Lew I pray for you. You will have wells of living waters spring up out of your belly. You will have a joy and a peace that will transcend all understanding. Your relationship with your son and daughter will increase to levels you yourself cannot understand or explain. You will think back to your own past mistakes and see how lovingly the Lord dealth with you and you will use this as an example and have a more understanding attitude with your children. Yes I said even more understanding, every day. I place hedges around your children-- angels ---blessings--grace--mercy--understanding. The Lord will start pealing away layers and layers of past thoughts and conceptions, and doing spiritual renewal on all of you that will so awe you that you all will be drawn into his arms to hear His plan for your lives ..what you cautiously approached you shall now run to...you will sprint into his loving arms. You must have been one fast dude when you were younger..or-- but I know the Lord is telling me even if were rock dead slow in the physical you will become a sprinter in the spirit. But , I need to know your daughter and son's names, first names will do..P M me if you wish............In Christ.......gregor

You said the words yourself as you typed this message a few days back, Lew. To: haqihana who wrote (4630) From: lewis7 Thursday, May 4, 2000 2:05 AM ET Reply # of 4651 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12 Father, we ARE joyful in the Living Hope You have given us. And we ask You for the patience to bear this troublesome time and the patience to be still and know that YOU are God, and to be patient in our cry to You, the One God. Sometimes our faith wavers in our own effort, but NEVER in the knowledge that You hear us Father. We have seen that You will do whatever it takes Father, so we ask that you touch Lew's son. Breathe on him in a way that takes his breath away, so as to call on You. And Father with Your same breathe I ask you to breathe on Lew, that she will gather the strength to be at peace at this time. Father just as we anguish over our children, we know so You do also. Thank You Father for allowing us to enter the Holy of Holies and for hearing this prayer IN the Name of Jesus. Breath of Heaven hold me together.. ..be forever near me Breath of Heaven Breath of Heaven lighten my darkness.. ..pour over me Your holiness for YOU are holy! Breath of Heaven.

Dear Lew: I definitely agree with you in prayer through the Lord Jesus. It sounds like an extremely difficult situation for you. It always hurts the most when it's the ones we love the most. Lord, I lift Lew up to you and pray that you would assure him that you know his situation and that you care deeply for him. I pray that you would dispatch the Holy Spirit even now to begin ministering to Lew's son so he may see the errors of his ways and so he will reconcile both with his wife and his father. I pray that Lew's daughter will keep in close contact with him even though she had to move away. Lord, thank-you for the comfort you offer people like Lew who are hurting right now. I pray in the name of Jesus, amen. In Christ, Tom
